Archives

Papertrail automatically creates compressed log archive files on a daily or hourly basis. These are downloadable in Papertrail under Archives. Archives are retained for 1 year with all paid plans or 1 week with the free “choklad” plan.

Additionally, Papertrail can upload these archives to an S3 bucket in your own Amazon Web Services account. See “Account” to provide a bucket.

Each archive contains all logs in a tab-separated values (TSV) format. In addition to being human-readable, the TSVs are simple to parse or import into a data warehouse like Redshift or Hive/Hadoop on Elastic MapReduce.
